Good experience

The hotel was great, staff were amazing. They brought us a bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary. We had an issue with the carpark, however the staff who helped was extremely apologetic and handled it magnificently.
Only thing that could have been improved was the included breakfast was quite limited compared to what we were expecting.

Need more attention to comfort

We stayed for one night at Rydes in Albion Street, Sydney. The front desk staff were friendly and very inviting to us. Unfortunately the beds were not usual standard. They were very soft, which is unusal in a business hotel. The linen to make the beds were very thin and did not have a proper doona cover rather just a sheet to cover the doona. The doona for winter was very light and could have been heavier for winter. The staff member who meet us for breakfast was friendly to male customers however had a real problem with serving female customers. Very unusal in a business hotel. We asked for a second coffee which when you have a meal deal for breakfast (full breakfast) you can go back and get a second coffee. Must admit I have been to plenty of hotels which are better simply because they offer service and a great smile.

These guys were pretty impressive. I had had a rather hideous stay at another hotel before checking into Rydges, and not only did they let me check in very early and give me a great rate, but they upgraded my room after hearing about my previous experience elsewhere. Who does that?
Great location, very clean, and a very comfortable bed!

My stay at rydges was lovely

I stay at rydges every year for a conference weekend, the rooms are always immaculate and spacious. The staff are always lovely. The only thing that would make things wonderful would be bigger towels.

Staff are always helpful and courteous, and the location near Central Railway Station makes this establishment a standout winner.
Also as a member of the free Priority Guest Reward scheme there are pleasant surprises to be enjoyed throughout your stay.
I would recommend this establishment as a great base for your Sydney stay.

I stayed four nights as a single guest. I arrived to my room and it was just as large as the ones featured on the internet (this is often not the case as hotels photograph only their best rooms) The bed was soft and comfortable. The room was out the back and quiet and was able to be totally darkened. (these are all good features for me as I work night shifts and sleeping is always an issue). I had no trouble at Rydges. I hired a car through the hotel using the concierge, on the Sunday and that went smoothly. I had 2 breakfasts and they were adequate, comprehensive food choices, but not fancy (and no fancy price either). My room was clean and all the staff were not only courteous and professional, but also HAPPY. I will stay at Rydges Central again. The location is also perfect for my needs in Sydney.

good service as usual

Booking was incorrectly made (by me) and helpful staff arranged alternative booking on the spot, even though it was Easter Saturday night. Thank you Rydges.
